Franki 260762 - Australian Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Gladstone, Michigan

Hi I'm Franki! I am a 6-year-old spayed female Australian Shepherd. I came to the shelter as a lost dog and sadly was never picked up. I am a sweet and loving girl who deserves to find the best home. I can be a bit bashful at first but given a bit of time and maybe a game of fetch I will be your loyal companion in no time. I am an active herding breed and enjoy a lifestyle that includes keeping my mind enriched. If you are interested in adopting me, please find me on the website under "Available Dogs" and fill out the application.
***We will be accepting applications on Franki for 24 hours until 2:25pm on Wednesday 10/7/26

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
